Anyone remembers "Bad Timing"?

Posted by Victor Khomenko (M) on May 23, 2005 at 14:36:55

Sometimes you stumble over strange stuff when flipping channels. Such was the case a few days back, when I came across Bad Timing.

A story of long, torturous and bizarre relationship between Teresa Russell and Art Garfunkel, ending in a near disaster.

Art playing a sexy lover is not exactly my cup of tea - I kept wondering how much Teresa had to suffer in his company - so I was about to dismiss the film as just trashy fluff, but something there kept me interested. By presenting that horride relationship the film managed to explose some interesting psychology. All along the way you can't help by wonder how you would have reacted in a similar situation... and that is perhaps the film's strongest point. The development is not linear, it follows a strange curve.

Harvey Keitel gives his usual riveting performance (I do have a soft spot for that actor), but certain things were just too hard to swallow... to watch Art, fully naked, screwing a dying Teresa was something I would rather not do under my own volition.

So yes, the movie comes quite close to be a trashy exploitation, so if you stumble over it, be forewarned. But if you delve into it, you just might find some of its psychology fascinating.
